x86/microcode/amd: Tone down printk(), don't treat a missing firmware file as an error

2013-11-29T18:50:35Z

commit 11f918d3e2d3861b6931e97b3aa778e4984935aa upstream. Do it the same way as done in microcode_intel.c: use pr_debug() for missing firmware files. There seem to be CPUs out there for which no microcode update has been submitted to kernel-firmware repo yet resulting in scary sounding error messages in dmesg: microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Acked-by: Borislav Petkov Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1384274383-43510-1-git-send-email-trenn@suse.de Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

x86, efi: Don't map Boot Services on i386

2013-10-05T14:06:53Z

commit 700870119f49084da004ab588ea2b799689efaf7 upstream. Add patch to fix 32bit EFI service mapping (rhbz 726701) Multiple people are reporting hitting the following WARNING on i386, WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:102 __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440() Modules linked in: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.9.0-rc7+ #95 Call Trace: [] warn_slowpath_common+0x5f/0x80 [] ? __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440 [] ? __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440 [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 [] __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440 [] ? get_usage_chars+0xfb/0x110 [] ? vprintk_emit+0x147/0x480 [] ? efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1e4/0x3de [] ioremap_cache+0x1a/0x20 [] ? efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1e4/0x3de [] efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1e4/0x3de [] start_kernel+0x286/0x2f4 [] ? repair_env_string+0x51/0x51 [] i386_start_kernel+0x12c/0x12f Due to the workaround described in commit 916f676f8 ("x86, efi: Retain boot service code until after switching to virtual mode") EFI Boot Service regions are mapped for a period during boot. Unfortunately, with the limited size of the i386 direct kernel map it's possible that some of the Boot Service regions will not be directly accessible, which causes them to be ioremap()'d, triggering the above warning as the regions are marked as E820_RAM in the e820 memmap. There are currently only two situations where we need to map EFI Boot Service regions, 1. To workaround the firmware bug described in 916f676f8 2. To access the ACPI BGRT image but since we haven't seen an i386 implementation that requires either, this simple fix should suffice for now.

x86/xen: do not identity map UNUSABLE regions in the machine E820

2013-08-29T16:50:14Z

commit 3bc38cbceb85881a8eb789ee1aa56678038b1909 upstream. If there are UNUSABLE regions in the machine memory map, dom0 will attempt to map them 1:1 which is not permitted by Xen and the kernel will crash. There isn't anything interesting in the UNUSABLE region that the dom0 kernel needs access to so we can avoid making the 1:1 mapping and treat it as RAM. We only do this for dom0, as that is where tboot case shows up. A PV domU could have an UNUSABLE region in its pseudo-physical map and would need to be handled in another patch. This fixes a boot failure on hosts with tboot. tboot marks a region in the e820 map as unusable and the dom0 kernel would attempt to map this region and Xen does not permit unusable regions to be mapped by guests. (XEN) 0000000000000000 - 0000000000060000 (usable) (XEN) 0000000000060000 - 0000000000068000 (reserved) (XEN) 0000000000068000 - 000000000009e000 (usable) (XEN) 0000000000100000 - 0000000000800000 (usable) (XEN) 0000000000800000 - 0000000000972000 (unusable) tboot marked this region as unusable.

x86, fpu: correct the asm constraints for fxsave, unbreak mxcsr.daz

2013-08-11T22:38:43Z

commit eaa5a990191d204ba0f9d35dbe5505ec2cdd1460 upstream. GCC will optimize mxcsr_feature_mask_init in arch/x86/kernel/i387.c: memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct)); asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch)); mask = fx_scratch.mxcsr_mask; if (mask == 0) mask = 0x0000ffbf; to memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct)); asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch)); mask = 0x0000ffbf; since asm statement doesn’t say it will update fx_scratch. As the result, the DAZ bit will be cleared. This patch fixes it. This bug dates back to at least kernel 2.6.12. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

xen/time: remove blocked time accounting from xen "clockchip"

2013-07-22T01:19:01Z

commit 0b0c002c340e78173789f8afaa508070d838cf3d upstream. ... because the "clock_event_device framework" already accounts for idle time through the "event_handler" function pointer in xen_timer_interrupt(). The patch is intended as the completion of [1]. It should fix the double idle times seen in PV guests' /proc/stat [2]. It should be orthogonal to stolen time accounting (the removed code seems to be isolated). The approach may be completely misguided. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/6/10 [2] http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-08/msg01068.html John took the time to retest this patch on top of v3.10 and reported: "idle time is correctly incremented for pv and hvm for the normal case, nohz=off and nohz=idle." so lets put this patch in.

KVM: x86: remove vcpu's CPL check in host-invoked XCR set

2013-06-27T18:27:30Z

commit 764bcbc5a6d7a2f3e75c9f0e4caa984e2926e346 upstream. __kvm_set_xcr function does the CPL check when set xcr. __kvm_set_xcr is called in two flows, one is invoked by guest, call stack shown as below, handle_xsetbv(or xsetbv_interception) kvm_set_xcr __kvm_set_xcr the other one is invoked by host, for example during system reset: kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_xcrs __kvm_set_xcr The former does need the CPL check, but the latter does not.

commit 9271b0b4b2044c6db06051fe60bc58cdd4f17c7c upstream. The latest GCC 4.8 does some more checking on type attributes that break the build for ARCH=um -> fill them in. Specifically, the "asmlinkage" attributes is now tested for consistency.
